OK,

So my girl was changed to straight water 13 days ago because I thought I had to harvest her prematurly, but thanks to Diggitys' idea I was able to drive her accross country with the use of a battery powered air pump. Thanks, Diggity!

Anyway, how long can she be on water only? Will she be ripe before she starts to suffer from nute deficentcies?

The little plant must be very stressed. She traveled through 2 time zones in the dark, and was recently placed back on 12/12. Will it take her a week or so to recover before she starts growing/maturing again? She's already been in 12/12 for 69 days!! How much longer will I have before harvest? Anyone?!?!

Using a 3X micro I can see a few (very few) of the trichs are amber, and the bud has swelled and looks different. How many days until I should harvest?

Thanks to everyone who's been following my grow journal for the "Smallest Snow White Plant in the World" I think we're coming to a happy ending here and I can't wait to give pics of the final product!!

Jay!!!

She looks friggin' great man!!!

I'd say give her a good week under some 12/12 before doing anything drastic. Then post some pics and show us how she's lookin'.

This could have been a good thing... who knows? I've never heard of anyone using 3 days darkness and then re-lighting them.

I'm just glad my idea worked for you. You got the battery powered pump, right?

look at that queen looking good for such a small grow

Of course she has been through a lot in those 74 days, I should have killed her a few times with my newb errors.

I want to thank all of you who repeatedly told me that she wasn't ready to harvest in my time frame. It's because I took that advice that she's such a nice plant today. I'm so proud...LOL

In her 74th day of 12/12 and and I'm having difficulty judging the color of her trich's. I have a 30X micro but I'm still having trouble, if some of the trichs are amber, it's very few.

She's now been in plain water for 18 days - is this gonna be OK? Will she be ripe before she suffers from nute def?

I'm hoping some of you could tell me if she's ready to be chopped!! Some of the close ups give some good detail. I think I'm looking at approx 1/4 to 1/2 oz, any takers?

I just read all 13 pages lol I was gonna buy one of these in the next few weeks..But i think i will spend the next few weeks trying to make one. My question for you guys is if i get a taller computer tower will it still work i would only do that to try to get a taller plant and more bud.

I bought the LARGE PC Grow box from Homegrown Hydroponics and I am happy with the good results so far. I guess I was lucky. My lamp did NOT come broken, and nutrients were intact..

Jaydoe that is one of the craziest things i've ever seen! Looking great though!

Thanks for the support...Still looking for a harvest date estimates!!

I'd go another week and chop her.

Did u flush yet? Let some of the leaves yellow

76 days into flower but with much stress!! And thanks again for your advice, Diggity!

These pics are from two days ago, so she's 78 days today. I'm still looking for some experienced growers to give me some more estimates on ripeness. Some of the pics give nice close ups. I'm asking for more help because the trichs still all look clear, but the bud looks ripe to me. Is she ready for harvest or does she need a few more days, a week?

Should I be concerned with the condition of the leaves, some are pretty brown and dead looking?

The buds that developed on the bottom are really cool, there's some great shots.

Yeild estimates??

Jay, she's lookin' great, my man!

She's getting close, but you have to remember, CFLs take a little bit longer to ripen than HPS. I have 3 PPP X Sour Diesel that are just over 60 days at 12/12 and they still ain't ready.

It's ok, though, I had one I started 2 weeks earlier that is drying right now. Kind of a disappointing plant though, resin all over but the buds are so small...

But it IS some mighty good shit!

Here's todays pics.

SHOULD I HARVEST? WHEN?

Thanks, Diggity. I'm having a hard time deciding weather or not she's ready for harvest.

Here's what you do...
Germinate another seed. When it sprouts, then chop her. You'll have some really good smoke within 9 days and you'll already be ready to move in a new plant!

Thanks, man

Only next grow will be 3 sites assuming at least 1 will be male, so 2 flowering plants

Any truth to giving her 3 days total darkness before harvest?

I never have done that 3 days darkness thing so I can't really say.

Hi all,

Still having trouble with the micro deciding is she's ripe. The trich's seem to look crystal clear in bright light, but look amber in shade. I really can't tell..

More expert advice needed - Is she done?
